European Countries Near the Alps and the Adriatic Sea

Several countries in Europe can be observed here, north of the Adriatic Sea. The countries along the shores of the sea include Italy below, Croatia along most of the upper shores, and Montenegro to the right after the Croatian islands. Sediments swirl outwards from rivermouths along the coast of Italy, while the shoreline of Croatia and its islands is mostly clear.

Bordering Croatia, in dark green areas of abundant vegetation, are Bosnia and Herezgovina to the east and Slovenia to the west. Hungary also borders Croatia to the north, although the landscape here is greenish-brown in color. Lake Balaton also stands out amidst the Hungarian terrain, its waters a bright turquoise green.

To the west of Hungary lies Austria. The Alps, somewhat snow-covered in this image taken at the beginning of Autumn, are visible here in Austria and northern Italy.
